Important Safety Precautions Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide. Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death. Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or the battery and could cause the battery to explode. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode. Never store your phone in temperatures lower than -4 F or higher than 122 F. Do not dispose of your battery near fire or with hazardous or flammable materials. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near the air bag. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is deployed, you may be seriously injured. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft) Octane TM 1
Important Safety Precautions Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a bathroom. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinner, etc.) or detergent to clean your phone. This could cause a fire. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone. Do not use your phone in highly explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause electric shock or fire. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause electric shock or fire. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone. Do not disassemble the phone. 2 Octane TM
Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire. Make sure that no sharp-edged items, such as animal s teeth or nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire. Store the battery out of reach of children. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc). This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any circumstance, even when your phone is locked. Your phone s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues. Octane TM 3

Technical Details Important Information This user s guide provides important information on the use and operation of your phone. Please read this guide carefully prior to using the phone to be able to use your phone to its greatest advantage and to prevent any accidental damage or misuse. Any unapproved changes or modifications will void your warranty. Technical Details The LG Octane TM is an all digital phone that operates on both Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular services at 800 MHz and Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz. CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep communication from being crossed and to use one frequency channel by multiple users in the same specific area. This results in a 10-fold capacity increase when compared with analog mode. In addition, features such as soft/softer handoff, hard handoff, and dynamic RF power control technologies combine to reduce call interruptions. The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller), BTS (Base Station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile Station). 1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. High-speed data transmission is also possible. EV-DO system is optimized for data service and is much faster than 1xRTT system in applicable area. The table on the following page lists some major CDMA standards. Octane TM 9

Read this information before operating the phone. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic Description CDMA Dual-Mode Air Interface 14.4kbps Radio Link Protocol and Inter-Band Operations IS-95 Adapted for PCS Frequency Band CDMA2000 1xRTT Air Interface MAS-BS PCSC-RS Intersystem Operations Non-Signaling Data Communications.

Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. 10 Octane TM
Bodily Contact During Operation This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be maintained between the user s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) distance between the user s body and the back of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits. Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna (Optional, if available.) To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov. FCC Notice and Cautions This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device and its accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device and its accessories must accept any interference received, including interference that causes undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user guide could void your warranty for this equipment. Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or Octane TM 11

Getting Started with Your Phone The Battery NOTE It is important to fully charge the battery before initial use of the phone. Your phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep the battery charged while not in use in order to maximize talk and idle time. The battery charge level is shown at the top of the LCD screen. Removing the Battery 1. Turn power off. 2. Remove the battery cover. 3. Use the fingernail cutout to lift the battery from the phone (see the images below). Installing the Battery 1. Hold the phone securely with both hands (as demonstrated). 2. Push down on the center notch (1) and slide the cover downwards. 3. Align the gold contacts on the battery with the contacts on the phone, and push the other end of the battery down. Charging the Battery Your LG Octane TM comes with a cableless travel adapter and a USB data cable which connect together to charge your phone. NOTICE Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your LG phone. Improper handling of the charging port, as well as the use of an incompatible charger, may cause damage to your phone and void the warranty. Octane TM 21
Getting Started with Your Phone NOTE Using the phone with the adapter may cause an abrupt reset if the phone does NOT have the battery inserted. 1. Connect the cableless wall adapter and USB data cable. When connecting as shown below, the LG logo on the USB cable should face toward you. 2. Gently uncover the Accessory/ Charger Port, then plug the end of the adapter into the phone s charger port and the other end into an electrical outlet. Charging with USB You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you may need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC first. Connect one end of the USB cable to the Accessory/Charger Port on your phone and the other end to a powered USB port on your PC (commonly located on the front panel of the computer). It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. A USB Hub should be powered by an external power source (see Note below).
